I can't believe this came to pass!
I can't believe my awe-struck!
This wouldn't happen to anyone else.
No, just a blatant fool like I.

I can't believe I hired you.
What a glaring, brash mistake,
you temptress in detective's clothes.
He was never yours to take!

The vixen in the chickens' coop;
the spider in your soft-spun web.
I never thought he'd fall for you
when ten long years we both were wed.

I called you in, Ms. Inspector,
but my intentions were the best.
I never dreamed my husband dear
would take the bait like all the rest.

Now you're just a bad memoir
or cruel affairs and love-spurned lies.
I'll get him back, you man-eating minx!
You husband stealing Private Eye!

Misa: I can't imagine a world without Light!
L: Yes, that would be dark.

This brought a (wry) smile. A good write, thanks.

Seems some creeps get into the P.I. trade for the same reasons some geriatrics professionals get into that---to destroy and torture with what they believe to be impunity...

If one wants to hire a private dick or two, ask them to do an obviously unethical job first, merely as a test of character. If they agree to it, then vamoose and try the next noser on the list.

Good luck to the protagonist here on getting just restitution!
